Three Kings

Corrected entry: Before the sliding milk truck comes to a halt the impression of movement is cleverly created by zooming into truck. If you look at the wheels in the sand in slow motion you see that the truck is not moving. (00:22:30)

Correction: The rules of the site are clear...if it requires the use of slow motion to be seen, it is not a mistake.

Corrected entry: SSgt. Chief Elgin a "chief" which is a warrant officer in the Army. However, he is wearing Staff Sergeant rank, which is an enlisted soldier.

Correction: "Chief" is his first name. He's listed as Ssgt. Chief Elgin.

Corrected entry: In the scene where George Clooney and the 3 other soldiers practice "a dry run" for pulling up to the bunker, they pull up to a cow and pretend it's a guard. Then the cow steps on a cluster bomb and blows up spraying blood all over the uniforms of the soldiers. However, several scenes later, the uniforms are completely clean except for dirt. This continues for the rest of the movie. There was no time or place for the soldiers to clean their clothes. (00:20:24)

Correction: After the cow blows up there is blood on their uniforms and it is still there when they arrive in the town. It is just hard to see because the blood is dark red on camouflage and has been dried by the wind from the Humvee drive. A refugee also exclaims something along the line of 'look they are barbarians covered in blood' when they arrive to the town.

Factual error: At times in the movie we see George Clooney handle solid bars of gold as if they were made of balsa wood, or chocolate. Gold is one of the heaviest metals, and bars the size of those depicted in the movie would weigh about 75 pounds. (00:33:40)

Trivia: George Clooney and director David Russell got into a fist-fight when Clooney objected to the way Russell was treating some extras.
